METAL BUILDING-CORNER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS F. JAMESON, a citizen of the United States,residing at Weeping ater, in the county of Cass and State of Nebraska,have invented new and useful Improvements in Metal Building- Corners, ofwhich the following is a specification.

his invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in metalbuilding corners, and the object of the invention is to provide asimple, novel and inexpensive article of this nature which can be easilyand quickly applied and which will be of efficiency in use. Further andother objects will later herein appear.

In the drawings: Figure l is a perspective view of the device; Fig. 2 isa sectional view taken on the line 2*2 of Fig. 4 showing therelationship between the adjacent corners when in use; Fig. 3 is a.section taken on the line 33 of Fig. 2; and Fig. 4 is a section taken onthe line 44 of Fig. 2.

The invention consists of two right angularly disposed members 1 and 2,the members being longitudinally corrugated or ribbed as shown in thedrawings, and being arrai'iged so that they flare with respect to eachother at their bottoms, the two members being cut so as to make a neatand close oint as'depicted in the drawings as at 8, and being solderedor otherwise suitably secured together. At the lower ends of the twomembers there is secured a ball-like hollow element 4 which is formed ofmetal, and which is suitably secured to the side memhers I and 2. Theball extends over the union or joint 3 and projects below the lower endsof the side members 1 and 2.

As depicted in the drawings the device is applied to the corners of awooden building, the boxing of the latter being shown at 5 and thesiding at (3, the side members 1 and 2 engaging the siding and the joint3 together with the spherical member 4 inclosing the corner proper. Asshown in Fig. 2

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed July 16, 1910.

Patented Mar. 7, 1911.

Serial No. 572,340.

of the drawings which illustrates the relationship borne between thecorners in use, the spherical member 4 has its lower end inclosing andreceiving the bottom sides of the siding G, the lowermost point of theball or spherical member 4t engaging with the adj a cent upper ends ofthe side members of the adjacent metal corner.

It will be seen from the above that a fin ished appearance is thus giventhe corner of the building, and one which furthermore is water andweather proof and which adds to the ornamental and attractive appearanceof the structure. Moreover, the article can be cheaply and quickly madeand can be easily applied in position.

It will be seen that by virtue of the corrn gations the corners willhave an increased value for purpose of draining or carrying oft rain andthe like.

What is claimed as new is:

1. A metallic corner for buildings, composed of a pair of membersarranged at right angles to each other and disposed so as to flareslightly at their lower ends, means for connecting said memberstogether, and a hollow ball secured to said members and projectingdownwardly below the lower ends thereof. v

2. A metallic corner composed of a pair of corrugated members arrangedat right angles to each other, and a ball at the lower ends of and atthe juncture between said members and extending onto and connected toeach.

3. A metallic corner for buildings and the like, composed of a pair ofmembers arranged at right angles to each other, a hollow ball connectedto each member and depending from the lower ends thereof.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twosubscribing witnesses.

THOMAS F. JAMESON.
